For students of Spanish as a second Language, the subjunctive mode is usually a headache.
But Why?
Well, there are many mainly reasons why the we understand the subjunctive is difficult to learn and to use, for example:
This mood doesn’t exist in your native language. You can’t establish a relation with anything because you lack of reference from your language. I suggest you engage “the universal language” (emotions) with Spanish language. Each emotion has a subjunctive function. Sadness, anger, happiness, at the same time and fear correspond to several functions in this way. Try to think of your experience of them as the basis of your subjunctive expression, when you speak in Spanish. Forget the base of your language to practice these aspects, because it does not work for you. "There is no emotion in the subordinate when speaking in Spanish." Send this message to your mind: it will be useful to place a good part of the subjunctive functions, as well as for the points of meaning.
The complication with the subjunctive is that you believe that all functions follow the same criteria to answer each subordinate phrase. But no. Not all communication functions serve the subjunctive, therefore, the same criteria are not followed.
The problem with the subjunctive is that the useless, the useless, the tenants and the counts of 30% of the conjugations. If it becomes a real headache.
Also, the disadvantage with the subjunctive is that in its mother tongue this mode has fewer functions than in Spanish.
Cheer up! Remember that everything is in the practice💪
